In the Eastern Regional Arenacross Lites Class Main Event, Williamson raced to the holeshot, narrowly edging out A&Y Racing Honda’s Daniel Herrlein, the entering points leader. Herrlein was aggressive on the opening lap and pushed for the lead, getting alongside Williamson, but the Kawasaki rider fended off the initial challenge and began to pull away. Woodstock/TZR KTM’s Cody VanBuskirk slotted into third place off the start, but then came under fire from FCC Motorsports Honda’s Dylan Walker. The two battled for the position until Walker made the pass on Lap 3. Williamson maintained a lead of over a second throughout the remainder of the Main Event, crossing the line nearly three seconds ahead of Herrlein in second and Walker in third. In each Eastern Regional Arenacross Lites Class Main Event this season, the winner has led all 15 laps. Vanbuskirk was fourth, with his Woodstock/TZR KTM teammate Scott Zont fifth.
Herrlein added to his Eastern Regional Arenacross Lites Class points lead, which now sits at 15 points over Williamson, who moved into second. NST/Spinechillers KTM’s Lane Staley is third, 20 points back.
AMSOIL Arenacross’ inaugural visit to Allentown continues tomorrow with the second night of the weekend doubleheader from the PPL Center. The action gets underway at 7 p.m. ET.
Justin Cooper, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., Yamaha - 16Hayes charged hard to the front after a mid-pack start and worked his way into second place by lap twelve. On the final lap, when it appeared that Faith had the checkers in his sights a crash in the last turn took him out of the lead and gave Hayes the lead for the win.
With his 1-1 performance on the night Hayes now sits, third place in championship points standing just four points from Chris Blose who is the current series points leader and only one point behind second place Gavin Faith. Action resumes next Friday and Saturday night from The PPL Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania, January 22-23.
